  • WHAT HAPPENED?

    The 17-year-old forward, who made his senior debut in February, has already accumulated five appearances off the bench, the latest coming in the recent loss to Wolverhampton Wanderers. Obi-Martin’s rapid progress at United has begun turning heads, with the teenage striker continuing to push for a larger role in the senior setup.

    THE BIGGER PICTURE

    Despite his growing presence under the spotlight, United boss Amorim has made sure to temper the rising expectations, offering a piece of advice intended to keep the young striker’s feet firmly on the ground. However, the Portuguese manager is keeping a regular eye on the teenager as he has been given the opportunity to train with the senior squad.

  • WHAT OBI-MARTIN SAID

    "He’s just told me to be humble and keep working hard every day,” Obi-Martin said to United media. “And hopefully, I get more opportunities soon. My Dad and my Mum always told me to be a good person and listen to my coaches because they want me to get better, so it’s good."

    He added: "I’ve learnt to be smart and to think quicker by training with the first team because the game is quicker compared to Academy football. It helps me a lot, training with them every day.”

  • DID YOU KNOW?

    With Rasmus Hojlund currently experiencing a rough spell in front of goal, Obi-Martin’s rise comes at a crucial time for the Red Devils. The Danish striker has just three goals in 28 Premier League appearances, which might open the door for Obi-Martin to get more minutes at the business end of the season.

    WHAT NEXT FOR OBI-MARTIN?

    With United preparing for an important clash against Bournemouth in the Premier League on Sunday, all eyes will be on the team sheet to see whether the young forward makes the cut. Given his recent involvement and promising performances, there is every chance he’ll feature in the matchday squad and probably get some minutes on the pitch as well.
